An oceanographic pilot study was carried out at Scott Reef to investigate the behaviour of surface and internal waves in the vicinity of an isolated coral reef. Oceanographic instruments deployed included 4 pressure gauges on the reef edge and 2 current meter arrays extending across the reef slope. 64% of possible data was recovered from the 25 instruments deployed. 4 instruments were lost or stolen, 2 instruments leaked and 3 instruments did not perform to specifications. CTD data was also collected.
